Justice Department leadership is prepared to use its rule-making authority to declare transgender people as mentally ill and deprive them of their Second Amendment right to possess firearms, according to two Justice officials who shared internal discussions with CNN.
Deliberations at the highest levels of the DOJ follow the recent mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, an attack police say was carried out by a 23-year-old former student at the church’s school who may have been a transgender person or a de-transitioned individual. Two children were killed in the attack, and 21 others were injured.

What does the Massie family Christmas card have to do with it?
Look, Massie sucks, but I know they’re mad at him right now, so it’s an odd choice of image given the article is about the DOJ.
Does that look like a photo of a mentally stable group of people?
Not exactly, but I am pretty sure they’re so 2nd Amendment pilled they’d defend trans rights to an automatic rifle.
Like, say what you want about Massie, but he’s probably one of the few republicans that aren’t complete pieces of shit. Considering his libertarian leanings, more than likely he’ll come out against this. Hell, apparently even the NRA is against this.
Any excuse to kill Americans makes this administration giddy.
Trump once said that his closest advisor, Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, told him that he wanted to reduce the population of the US to 100 million people, who looked like him (God forbid).
That would be a decrease of about 70%. It would be interesting to hear his explanation as to how he intends to accomplish that objective.
Operation Blazing Sword is a grass-roots organization dedicated to helping everyone, but especially queer people, become responsible firearm owners.
I am not into guns but I am into that group name! “Activate interlock! Dynatherms are connected! Infrashells are go! Let’s go!”
Haven’t heard of that. But another option is the SRA (socialist rifle association). Its a nationwide version of the NRA for socialist/leftists. They are not activist but strictly an organization for learning firearm safety and use. Highly recommend from my experience with my local SRA.
Our membership has exploded since the election. And obviously a lot of our members are from the queer community.
First they came for the gay’s guns…
It is important to set up a system to confiscate guns. Try it on a small group then expand gun confiscation group by group. Eventually a loyalty pledge will be required, then conscription.
The right has never supported gun ownership for groups they consider outside “American identity” just look at Reagan’s actions while governor.
White People: “guns are for everyone! That’s why there is a second amendment. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”
Black Panthers: "oh ok carries unloaded guns’
White People: “wait actually now there are limits”
Trans person:
3D prints your ruling
shoots it with a 3D printed gun
I’m sure the 2A crowd will be “up in arms” because of this…right?..right???
yes
Funny, we’ve already labeled Republicans this way 😂
There is no Republican Party any more. They are as dead as the Whigs, and should only be referred to in a scholarly, historical context.
This is the MAGA Party, and doesn’t follow any of the foundational tenets of the Republican Party - Smaller govt, lower taxes, fiscal/economic responsibility, family values, etc. It is an entirely separate party whose foundational tenets include treason, corruption, racism, misogyny, pedophilia, genocide, intolerance, and more.
Our country is being destroyed by MAGA. The Republican Party is responsible for the rise of MAGA, but we need to make sure MAGA gets full blame for the destruction they have caused, and the full punishment they deserve. MAGAs need to understand that when they are forced from power this time, they won’t be forgiven like Biden did. They will feel the wrath of Liberty.

Idk, that’s been the Republican party platform as far back as I can remember.
They are one and the same. The mask has just been ripped off.
There is no “trumpism”. And “maga” is just…what conservatives and the Republicans have always really been about.
I was wondering when they’d start actively taking rights away.
1789, the year after the Constitution was originally ratified.
Abortion? Due process?
Yeah I thought about those after I posted this.
The horrors coming so fast we can’t even hold them in our head @.@
Yeah. My province is stupid as fuck but at least it’s not the USA.
The right is about to learn the very important lesson that support of gun control does not necessarily imply a lack of gun ownership.
Too bad they’re likely to learn the wrong lesson.
Not surprising. They’re gearing up for genocide.
Where’s the “shall not be infringed” crowd?
Standing right here. I’d also like to know what part of due process this is, exactly.
So also reduced sentences on all crimes under the insanity defense? Or just the parts that fits your agenda?
Best we can do is reduced process.
It’s the second one 🙃
Labelling the groups they hate as mentally defective is very much a Nazi move.
We can’t have mentally ill people breeding, we better start issuing pregnancy licenses that everyone has to apply for.
Weird that only certain groups are getting the licenses.
Forced Idiocracy.
the sheer irony. i’m about to spin up a site that tracks metrics of MAGA vs the rest of the country in crime and fatalities
